Some time ago I blogged about a South African success few of us knew we had - Elon Musk. Elon Musk is a dot com millionaire who has since founded Space X - a firm pioneering cheap space travel.
Sadly, Musk's first launch went awry - the rocket launched but exploded during the first stage burn.
Musk has said he will tolerate up to three failed launches before reconsidering the project. He has so far invested $100m of his own money.
Update: Fuel leak caused explosion
